My name is Jessica Reidy, and I am one of the second-grade teachers here at St. Jude. I am so excited to begin my teaching journey here with all of you! I graduated from West Chester University with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with minors in both math and literacy. I also graduated high school right around the corner at North Penn. I truly believe that it is important to be a lifelong learner no matter what field you end up in and that you want to strive to learn more. I plan to instill the passion and love for learning in my students through hands-on learning experiences and peaking the students’ interests. Together as a class, we can explore and learn new things together. When I am not at school, I hang out with my family and friends. My dad and I are huge Flyers fans and love to enjoy the games together. I also enjoy dancing and reading. I am so thankful to have this opportunity to grow and learn alongside everyone in the St. Jude community and look forward to a wonderful school year!
